Saddleback clowns.

looks eitehr like a saddleback or a sebae clown? Or are they the same just diff names?

Amphiprion polymnus - They can be yellow, dark brown, or all black (like the ones you
purchased) We see these all of the time mis-identified as black percs. The key is the
white saddle bar that slants slightly backwards, extending onto middle and rear parts of the dorsal fin.

Steve ...
... like Deanos said definitively Saddleback Clowns (black) I had this fish couple times ...

 

[nanoreefer22]

I think they mighta said this a few times but heres another vote for Saddleback Clowns.

Black variant A. polymnus, they only have one pair that's spawning in the US so far.
But can you guys tell me what this is

 

[clownfishking]

Steve, when they start spawning sell me them

Amphiprion mccullochi , Probably one of the rarest to find (in the wild )and hardest clown fish
species to get your hands on. I believe we have only been able to get them once or
maybe twice in five years.

i second McCulloch's clownfish (A. mccullochi), originates from Lord Howe island

Not really hard to find in the wild, just hard to find in the hobby. In fact they are very easy to find in the wild in about 3 meters of water around LH island.

 

[jhale]

finding Lord Howe Island is not easy either, I had to google it

 

[clownfishking]

That's the place

 

[noodleman]

is that also where acan lords are from?

 

[clownfishking]

Sorry Steven for jacking your thread.
And yes you can find acans there also.
